Sòm 121

1 Yon Sòm pou monte vè tanp lan Mwen leve zye m vè mòn yo. Se kibò sekou mwen va sòti?

A Song of Degrees. I lifted up mine eyes to the mountains, whence my help shall come.

2 Sekou m sòti nan SENYÈ a, ki te fè syèl la ak tè a.

My help [shall come] from the Lord, who made the heaven and the earth.

3 Li p ap kite pye ou chape. (Sila) ki kenbe ou a p ap kabicha, ni dòmi.

Let not thy foot be moved; and let not thy keeper slumber.

4 Gade byen, (Sila) ki kenbe Israël p ap kabicha, ni Li p ap dòmi.

Behold, he that keeps Israel shall not slumber nor sleep.

5 SENYÈ a se gadyen ou. SENYÈ a se lonbraj a men dwat ou.

The Lord shall keep thee: the Lord is thy shelter upon thy right hand.

6 Solèy p ap frape ou lajounen, ni lalin pandan lannwit.

The sun shall not burn thee by day, neither the moon by night.

7 SENYÈ a va pwoteje ou de tout mal. Li va kenbe nanm ou.

May the Lord preserve thee from all evil: the Lord shall keep thy soul.

8 Li va pwoteje ou lè ou sòti ak lè ou antre, depi nan moman sa a e jis rive pou tout tan.

The Lord shall keep thy coming in, and thy going out, from henceforth and even for ever.
